Boy that's a lot of disappointment!

Don't see it as a misquote myself, 8 or 9 songs per night qualifies as most. The quote leads on from a comment about the last album from which they generally only played 5 or 6 songs per night. As a back catalogue grows it must become harder to leave out the favourites, standards or whatever. --K

Perhaps you could slice those peppers and then make a side with the seeds? I'll get me coat.......

The recent show in Munich went one better by relegating I Might to 5th and having IATTBYH at 4th in the set. I was almost reduced to tears. The best show I saw during the european tour.

Not a big fan of BBN but don't feel the need to flee the place when it starts. As long as it's not played every night. I second that. The selection of songs from the current tour seems just right. OSM has to be the opener though or it'll just become the track you use for a p*ss / drink break. --Kieron

Probably back in 1999 when they supported REM at one of the London Earl's Court shows. I'd read good things about Summerteeth and Mermaid Avenue and chose that night rather than the first night to go and see REM. Can't say I paid too much attention to them ad we had seats way back on the banks of the arena but can remember hearing California Stars at some stage. ST and MA then stayed on permanent rotation on my work CD player much to the annoyance of colleagues, one of the benefits of being the office manager meant I could play what I wanted! Oh the power. I then bought earlier releases and di

I've got tickets for the Groningen, Brussels and Paris shows and am considering stretching this to some of the others. Anyone else on here doing a run of these shows? --Kieron

I live where I work as we own a hotel. I don't smile too much as I'm the chef for the breakfast shift.... We open seasonally so I do most of my smiling between November and March.

You may find all of this a little obvious but here goes. Try and liaise with somebody from Belgium. Perhaps there is a Brussels/Belgian exclusive marketplace/ebay type site. I was able to obtain tickets for the sold out Utrecht gig in November via this way. Where are you from? If you're willing to gamble, I'm sure there are tout/scalper tickets available on the night as there are 2 shows. Keep checking the AB site - I was able to get tickets fro the first night long after it had sold out. Perhaps returns become available from time to time? Good luck. --K
